Vice-President

Mike Pence is the Patron Saint of Mediocre White Dudes, and the Roman God of Failing Upwards.

A Democrat in his youth, Pence, like many men of limited intelligence, turned to religious conservatism for the convenience of being able to end arguments by claiming God shares his every fear and prejudice, while forgiving his every shortcoming, how convenient.

Secretary of State

Secretary of the Treasury

Steve Mnuchin, like his namesake, the Noise You Make When You’re Dry Heaving After Getting Food Poisoning From Eating Truck Stop Gas Station Roller Hot Pockets on a Road Trip, is deeply unpleasant, and may result in the involuntary voiding of foul-smelling bodily fluids.

Secretary of DefenseChief of StaffNational Security Advisor

Holy shit, there are Generals all over the place these days, aren’t there?

Retired General James Mattis serves as Secretary of Defense. Retired General John Kelly ran Homeland Security for a bit, before becoming the Lead Executive Branch Babysitter, excuse me, Chief of Staff. H.R. McMaster’s the National Security Advisor, and hell, he’s still on active duty.

Attorney General

Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, third generation of his family to carry the name of a Confedarate piece of trash and also a second Confederate piece of trash, is living his dream. As Velveeta Goebbels’ Attorney General, he’s turning back the clock to a time when women and minorities knew their place, and mediocre white dudes like himself got to run everything, even if they weren’t especially bright.

Secretary of Commerce

When a witch’s curse transformed his master into a Beast and his fellow servants into household objects, Wilbur Ross became a decorative garden gnome. Unlike the rest of his compatriots, he ventured out into the world to make his fortune in the realm of shady international finance and money laundering, and when True Love’s Kiss lifted the curse, Wilbur was too far away for the enchantment to reverse, and thus he remains trapped in gnome form forever.

Secretary of Health and Human Services

Secretary of Housing and Urban Development

Dr. Ben Carson is only in politics because he was rude President Obama to his face. At the 2013 National Prayer Breakfast, a traditionally non-political event, Dr. Ben, having been invited as the keynote speaker, decided to use his time to shit on the President and his policies.

Secretary of Education

Betsy DeVos is what happens when bored white ladies have enough money to really fuck shit up. Turns out, if you’re born rich and marry richer, you don’t have to settle for a book club, you can buy yourself a whole cabinet department!

Administrator of the EPA

Scott Pruitt, like a lot of boys his age, grew up watching Captain Planet cartoons. Unlike most boys his age, he decided that the various sludge-smog-and-toxic-waste-slinging villains were the role models for him.

Ok, fine. Pruitt is ten years too old to have grown up on Captain Planet, but fuck you, that’s a good opening paragraph. Make your own fucking website, you don’t like it.

Senior Advisor/Son-in-Law

Jared Kushner was born on third base and thinks he invented baseball.

Jared’s dad, Charles Kushner, went to jail for tax evasion, illegal campaign donations, and, ahem, “witness tampering,” by which I mean he set his brother-in-law up with a hooker (not, I’m sad to report, of the Pissing Russian variety) and recorded their genital-smushing in order to blackmail him.

Director of Communications

White Supremacist Multi-Tool

Kris Kobach is like the protagonist of the white supremacist version of one of those Disney movies where a kid learns to chase his dreams, no matter how big. The kid gets tired of the monotonous grind of burning crosses on just one lawn at a time, and dreams of burning a cross big enough for the whole dang country!

Maybe he has a talking/singing Confederate flag for a sidekick. Named “Bedford.”

Roving Freelance Fascist

As seen in the famed documentary RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, when the Ark of the Covenant was opened on an uncharted island north of Crete, the burning light that issued thereof reduced the Nazi soldiers present to piles of ash and molten flesh. In time, the rains washed the fascist bio-goo into the island’s sewage system, where it mixed with the shit and piss and used tampons and such, and in time it congealed, took the shape of a man (albeit an unattractive one), slapped on a pair of glasses, and Sebastian Gorka was formed.

Speaker of the House

Senate Majority Leader

Many years ago, Gamera was following the Grateful Dead on tour, and engaged in a brief-but-life-affirming affair with an Ohio River ‘gator that hung around Ma McConnell’s pig farm, picking off runts for sustenance. Nine months later, young Mitch emerged from a leathery egg, and devoured his fellow hatchlings, beginning his life-long love affair with hurting children.

You Know, I’m Starting to Think This Barr Fellow Wasn’t Entirely Honest in his Little Memo.

Woooo, it’s been a fuckin’ ride this week, huh? We’ve all been waiting for Bill Barr to finish up the whitewashing gig he was hired for, and personally, I was up all night redacting your mom. I almost didn’t get a blog up today.

Exciting news for Devin “Pigfucker” Nunes, as scientists have, for whatever godforsaken reason, figured out how to bring dead pig brains back to life. Reached for comment, the Ham Hammer quizzically asked “Brains? Why not start with the GOOD stuff?” before our field reporter fled, vomiting.

In the interest of protecting my readers’ health, I hereby post the following medical disclaimer:

If you have any recent history of respiratory problems, please refrain from reading the article from the New Yorker/The Trace on how the blood-crazed death merchants of the National Rifle Association now find themselves in dire financial straits, due to internal strife, graft, self-dealing, and other assorted acts of fuckery, as doing so would bring significant risk of laughing yourself to death.

Wow. Corruption in an organization led by Oliver North? Who could have foreseen this? Anyway, it’s all descending into finger-pointing and lawsuits, and don’t forget all these maniacs are armed, so a last-scene-of-Reservoir-Dogs scenario is hardly out of the question.

So, after Mitch McConnell successfully lobbied to get sanctions lifted on Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, who was sanctioned in the first place for his role in Russia’s attack on the 2016 election, Oleg paid him back with case of shell wax, and also a multi-million dollar investment in an aluminum plant in Wrinkly Gamera’s home state of Kentucky. I don’t want to be controversial, but this thing where one of our two great political parties keeps putting American policy up for sale to our enemies? That’s maybe not a great thing.

Billy Barr has been a busy boy! Earlier this week, the Fixer General announced a new policy to deny bail to asylum-seeking migrants, because god knows there’s no better use for taxpayer money than incarcerating vulnerable people in an attempt to terrorize other vulnerable people out of making the journey to the U.S. in the first place. With Kirstjen Nielsen gone, Barr’s making a really serious play for the coveted “Most Despicable Cabinet Member” title.

The Marmalade Shartcannon wrapped his tiny, inadequate, fingers around the veto pen for just the second time in his always-embarrassing Presidency. Thus, the United States will continue supporting the Saudi-led genocide in Yemen, and the Saudis will continue to support Jared Kushner’s private business interests, with the odd dismembered journalist or illicit exchange of classified intelligence thrown in for flavor. I hope you’ll support my kickstarter to round up every single self-righteous fuckstick who voted for Jill Stein because Hillary was “too hawkish,” and have them air-dropped into Yemen to watch children starve to death.

Still smarting from years of culture war setbacks, the right wing is really not handling Pete Buttigieg’s ascendance in the Democratic primary field well. You could probably be forgiven for assuming the weirdo “protesters” with the Mayor-Pete-flogging-Jesus-while-Satan-laughs cosplay would claim the lunacy crown, but if you really want state-of-the-art bat-shittery, you always, ALWAYS want to go with Tucker Carlson.

Let’s take a quick minute to laugh at some House Republicans. Freshman Congresscrook Ross Spano seems to have raised just one single dollar in grassroots donations during the entire first quarter. Funny as that is, he actually outraised his indicted colleague, New York’s Chris Collins.

Hey look, Steve Mnuchin is hiring a Fux Nooz personality, who had to withdraw in shame from an earlier attempt to get appointed to an executive branch job in the wake of a plagiarism scandal, as his chief spokesmoron! If Tim Geithner had pulled anything like that, the right-wing jagoffosphere would have hounded him for weeks, but that was a bygone era when things still mattered.

President Used Enema Water has restored America’s international standing as a power to be respected and feared so thoroughly that North Korea is already taunting him with new weapons tests. I wonder if Kim Jong-un had a challenge coin made. Oh, and just to add some deference sprinkles on top of the respect cupcake, he’s demanding Secretary of State Mike Pompeo be removed from future negotiations.

Because there is nothing a Republican fears so much as American voters choosing their own leaders in free and fair elections, the Missouri GOP introduced legislation to undermine an anti-gerrymandering ballot initiative that passed with overwhelming support last November. Kinda reminds you of how the Florida GOP is attempting similar fuckery with the initiative that restored voting rights to felons. No punchline this paragraph, just a casual reminder that the Republican Party is anti-democracy, and they’ve seen a great deal of success in recent years in their efforts to roll back the right to vote. Does that bother you? Well, what’re you doing to fight it?

I see Elijah Cummings has invited Undomesticated HateFerret Stephen Miller to testify before the House Oversight Committee about his Goebbels’-B-Sides-and-Rarities immigration policies. Oh fuck, I hope that shit is televised. Miller can barely contain his sneering disdain for humanity in interviews with fiercely impartial hosts; can you imagine how he’ll respond to aggressive questioning from the opposition party? Taking bets now that at some point, he springs from his chair and tries to bite Elijah’s ear off.

Facebook has conscripted the Daily Fucking Caller as part of their “fact-checking” team, which would be absolutely hilarious if I didn’t have to live in the kind of world where malicious propagandists become arbiters of truth. I suppose we should be proud of the American right for taking up the reins of disinformation from their Russian comrades. You’ll be wiping your own asses in no time, boys.

Anyway, that’s all I got, folks. Slow news week. I guess to fill the space, I’ll share the recipe for my famous hot-dogs-and-Funyuns casserole. The secret ingredient is the six pack of MGD I pour on top, and –

Oh, what? You wanna talk about the Mueller report? I dunno, I’m binging Season 4 of Frasier, and I’m pretty sure Niles and Daphne are juuuust about to get together, so I don’t really want to…ugh. Fine.

The day started early. Far earlier than your Friendly Neighborhood Shower Cap was prepared to face his traditional hangover. I suppose if you’re already committed to undermining the rule of law and fucking over your country, you might as well piss everybody off with an 8:30 a.m. press conference. Dick.

And so William Barr strode out before the press corps to etch his name in the history books as one of the all-time great treasonous goons. It’s like Billy spent the last decade or so seething that nobody appreciates the deft shitbaggery of his Iran/Contra cover-up work, and now he demands recognition as a truly elite legal stooge for the brazenly corrupt.

The plan seems to have been for the AG to “get out ahead of” the heavily-redacted Mueller report with preemptive spin, the idea being that they could set the narrative. Yeah, it doesn’t make sense to me either, but remember you’re dealing with people who thought firing Jim Comey in the first place was a clever bit of political strategy that would be greeted with pony rides and ice cream sundaes from both sides of the aisle.

Barr says that because Tangerine Idi Amin really really REALLY wanted to obstruct justice, because he was so upset that his crimes were being investigated for a change instead of ignored, it doesn’t count as obstruction of justice. He sneered through a few more lies, then slunk away, confident that the whole “Russia” thing was dealt with forever and ever, because who would read a dumb ol’ report when they have a nice, jazzy, memo instead?

And the rest of the day was just headline after headline after headline. I confess, I was shocked at how bad the redacted report is for Trump, I figured the cover-up artist would bury everything damning, but holy shit, just what we can see is incredible. Maybe Barr couldn’t finish redacting because Scott Pruitt stole all the black markers on his way out the door?

There’s more evidence that Trump obstructed justice than there’s proof that 3 Musketeers bars contain nougat. Mueller outlines 10 different instances where Hairplug Himmler did his damndest to obstruct justice. Plus, unhappy with the amount of justice he was actually able to obstruct, which was significant, he tried like hell to obstruct even MORE justice, but occasionally his underlings refused to carry out his super-illegal orders. Basically, when Donald Trump sings “Don’t Know Much” at karaoke, he visualizes himself singing it directly to the abstract concept of “obstructing justice.”

There’s a fair amount of “Some of this shit, amazingly enough, doesn’t turn out to be technically illegal, because nobody ever stopped to imagine someone as sociopathically treasonous as Donald J. Trump running for President, let alone getting elected.”

Like, Paul Manafort giving internal campaign polling to a Kremlin-connected oligarch, even as he’s trying to leverage his position on the Shart campaign for personal profit…not illegal, apparently! The next Congress is gonna need to put together a massive I Guess We Need to Spell This Shit Out After All anti-corruption/treason bill. Call it the Decency Stimulus.

One of my favorite details is the bit where the Uncredible Huck confesses to lying to the American public. Will the Candycorn Skidmark fire, or even discipline her for this betrayal of the public trust? Will he even stop to think “Hey, having a known, confessed, liar as my chief mouthpiece is maybe counterproductive?” Will pigs spontaneously evolve wings, if only to escape Devin Nunes’ amorous advances?

Turdmaggot, Jr.’s victory lap is especially hilarious. The Bobadook concluded that while yes, his Trump Tower meeting was super illegal, a prosecutor would have trouble proving he understood that his actions were criminal in the face of a mountain of public evidence that he’s barely intelligent enough to navigate a fork from his plate to his mouth without causing a life-threatening injury. Yeah, throw yourself a party, kid.

The report also tells us Senator Richard Burr was so dedicated to keeping the Senate Intel Committee’s Russia investigation, which he leads, impartial, that he funneled information from his classified Gang of 8 briefings back to the White House, isn’t that a nifty trick! In any just world, Burr would’ve resigned in shame by the time you read this, but since we’re all kickin’ it old school in Hell, he won’t face any consequences even as severe as being forced to oversee the investigation in a slightly less comfortable chair.

Oh, and the Mueller investigation made 14 referrals of additional potential crimez to other offices, only 2 of which are publicly known right now, so there are still plenty of unmarked presents beneath the Xmas Tree of Justice. And likely more than one treasonous shitsack, celebrating today because they’re sure they got away with it all, still has a nasty surprise or two waiting in their future.

Folks, this is the REDACTED version? What’s behind Barr’s hundreds of black bars? Kellyanne Conway saying she walked in on Donnie Facetiming with Putin about how to polonium-210 Jim Acosta, only Trump was too distracted by the porn he was watching in another window?

Tragically overlooked in the ceremonial Shrieking of the Pundits is the report’s conclusion that the Russian government attacked our country, that the attack took the form of aiding the Trump campaign, and that the Trump campaign welcomed the help, and paid for it by adopting increasingly pro-Russia policies. And President Crotchvoid had not one word to say about any of this, but instead jetted down to his tacky-ass Florida resort, to golf at taxpayer expense, without the slightest passing thought to securing the nation from future attacks.

Anyway, the Democratic Congressional Subpoena Cannon, still smoking from a dozen different battles with the Shart House, is being loaded once more, with Jerry Nadler demanding the full report, even the bits Barr insists are too naughty for us. We are grown-ups and can make our own decisions, Bill!

I confess I’m still giggling that Team Treason ever imagined that this would be a good day for them, that Barr’s silly little stunt would enable them to control the narrative, that their problems are firmly behind them now. It’s going to be an awful lot of fun watching them slowly figure out just how wrong they are. If you’ll excuse me, I have to make sure my beer fridge is adequately stocked for the show.

As per Code of Ethics of DC Bar, essentially an attny cannot act in two divergent manners eg., cannot b POTUS attny AND b US AG.

Smalwell just stated the same on O’Donnell. Barr needs to resign. Either that or we push him over the cliff; I’m glad 2 help w that.

Pretty short gig, dude. U were so much more successful smoothing the way for Ronnie Ray-gun to dismantle Central America vis a vis Iran-Contra which is WHY THERE R SO MANY IMMIGRANTS FLEEING WHAT U STARTED.

Yep, those 12 investigations Mueller handed off were the chef’s kiss for me. Several folks either thinking they got away with something or stressing out because they’re wondering if they’ll be caught–awesome.

I just can’t figure out why Barr would be willing to trash his reputation for Trump. The only thing that occurs to me is the possibility he attended some of Trump’s parties where underage girls and drugs were alleged. I checked his age and that fits–68. I guess time will tell.

It’s about all the handzy, feely conduct of the russians and the dick weed family and the crotch-void himself. I seem to have read somewhere that you can’t claim being stupid of the law is your “get out of jail free” card for committing a crime. Isn’t that what Mueller’s report says….??? as in, well there is just not enough evidence that they knew that they were actually committing crimes so there is no reason to hang them by the ball sacks for the shit they perpetrated while being scammy and lying and committing fellacio on every tinpot dictator weaselly face, money launderer, crimes against humanity scuz bucket who leads you down the path to armageddon….cuz, of course and gee whiz, I have been committing this shit my whole life and nobody said anything to me about it being a crime gosh darn nit!
Maybe I am reading that wrong?

Isn’t there a preponderance of evidence that concerns their own actions and shows they knew they were for sure gonna hide this shit till the cows got hoof-n-mouth disease and cut out the first person’s tongue who ever-for-ever spills the vomit cup?
If it is not that, then WTF? People are dying, all over the fuckin” planet from what this shithead president has been doing! I just can’t get my mind around the mueller man’s head space here. What! Oh hell! Hell…..nnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooo!

The Republican responses to this business, from “collusion is not a crime” to the claim that Mueller didn’t call for the Dunghill Toadstool to be arrested and perp-walked out of the White House “exonerates” him, make me recall what Sam Ervin said of Attorney General (and later, Jail-Bird) John Mitchell, during the Senate Watergate hearings, that the American people had a right to expect from the Attorney General a standard of ethics is higher than the minimum requirement of the criminal code.
True that, and even more true of the man appointed by the Electoral College to be our President.
But I’m writing about the Dunghill Toadstool, whose sense of ethical behavior is a great deal below what the law says is criminal behavior.
